Pumpkin Muffins

I saw a very yummy looking muffin on Pinterest not too long ago.
It was for pumpkin muffins!
And to me, no other food says autumn like pumpkin.  So of course I had to try them.



Needless to say that they were delicious!
I thought they were going to be dry and taste kindda bland.
But they were so moist!  And just the perfect sweetness.  Not too sweet to be off limits for breakfast. 
And the pumpkin definitely was not overpowering.  I was actually hoping to be able to taste more pumpkin than I did. 


So here's how to make it:


~ 1 box cake mix - your choice...I used white 
                            I read that yellow works well and chocolate kindda overpowers
                            but is yummy

~ 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree

~ Preheat oven to 350*
~ Mix cake mix and pumpkin together until cake powder is moist
~ Bake in regular muffin pan 25 min.
~ Bake in mini muffin pan 13 min.

Here's the link to the recipe I followed:     Pumpkin Muffins

Halloween Wreath

I saw a lot of ideas for making a wreath, nothing was quite what I wanted so I made my own. I wasn't really sure how to make one, so i'm glad it turned out! I started by spray painting a wreath black. Then
i cut strips of different colored tulle. Word to the wise, cutting the strips to thin is a long and boring process so make them on the wider side. I couldn't find a spider I liked so I created my own. I took a large marble and covered it with material. The spider web is a place mat cut down. I am so excited that it turned out so cute!!
I need to take pictures as i go, but be patient, i'm still learning!!!

Hair Bow Holder

                              I am not so good at this blogging stuff :)
With that being said....I will start with some recent projects that I have worked on. I hope you enjoy!!
Since my girls have so many hair clips I decided that I needed a cute and fun way to store them. I googled the idea after seeing it at a store. I like to take ideas and make them my own!! This is really easy and inexpensive to make, and most of all my girls loved it!
